A string value representing an amount of time.

|
The format of a (Kubernetes) duration is based on the
|
|
[`time.Duration`](https://pkg.go.dev/time#Duration) type from the Go programming language.
|
|
|
|
In Kubernetes APIs that use durations, the value is expressed as series of a non-negative
|
|
integers combined with a time unit suffix. You can have more than one time quantity and
|
|
the duration is the sum of those time quantities.
|
|
The valid time units are "ns", "µs" (or "us"), "ms", "s", "m", and "h".
|
|
|
|
For example: `5s` represents a duration of five seconds, and `1m30s` represents a duration
|
|
of one minute and thirty seconds.
